Joined over 3 years agoI’d agree, although I very occasionally get a flash of a dull picture if it’s something that was emotional, day to day I get nothing. I can’t recall smells, I struggle like so many with faces and names, very often my memory of who someone is triggers as I’m speaking to them. For years I developed a friendly patter that I used to find out about people at parties without them realising. These days I will just say I’m Aphantasia and the interest will help us establish our history. I’m a successful software engineer, although my job is now more business analyst.I never really had any inclination I was different although my ability to create analogies and models of things is super good. No idea if that is related. I’m not however artistic 🙂 I can draw you a map of where I lived when I was 10 but I can't tell you what the building I lived in looked like. Have any of you asked parents, my mum is exactly the same as me, we spoke about it this Christmas.
